Yes, I know… grammar sucks… but so does a vacuum cleaner. And with a vacuum cleaner you can clean up your house, so that when people come over it isn’t filthy, gross and disgusting. With a clean house, you will have MILLIONS of friends who will all want to spend all of their time with you… and give you things… and they’ll say, “Boy oh boy, that guy/girl there, sure has excellent vacuuming skills… I mean grammar! We should give him/her a lot of money!” And all of this will be yours because of good vacuuming… I mean grammar. 😀

No, I’m not talking about the car. Lexis is the term for all the things that you will need to actually communicate once you know how to use the grammar properly. Plainly said, these are all the words… But it’s more than just vocabulary. Lexis is made up things like: Vocabulary, Phrasal Verbs, Adverbial Phrases, NounPhrases, Prepositional Phrases, All Kinds Of Phrases!!! – And also things like: Idioms, Slang, Aphorisms, Interjections, and the list goes on and on and on… (getting excited? I know I am 😉 )

So if Grammar is like the skeleton, and Lexis is like the muscles… then Pronunciation is like the clothes that you wear (Now the pictures make sense right?) The way you pronounce things is very much like the way you present yourself to the world when you speak. You can have perfect grammar, have a huge vocabulary and know a ton of different phrases and aphorisms, but if you can’t pronounce things correctly, people (unfortunately) will think you are about as crazy as a guy who wears his underwear on the outside of his pants, or a woman who tucks her blouse into her pantyhose… Get it? 🙂
